1/3 cup milk (1% fat)
80g
1/3 cup cheddar cheese
55g
1 dash salt
1g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and chop the potatoes into large, even-sized chunks.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
3. Prepare the Broccolini:
- While the potatoes are cooking, trim and chop the broccolini.
4. Cook the Broccolini:
- Add the chopped broccolini to the pot with the potatoes during the last 5-7 minutes of cooking, just until tender but still vibrant green.
5. Drain and Mash:
- Drain the potatoes and broccolini well, then return them to the pot.
- Add the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dash of salt.
6. Mash the Mixture:
- Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes and broccolini together until you reach your desired consistency.
- Mix until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
7. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
8. Serve:
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes.

- Steam the broccoli instead of boiling it to retain its nutrients and bright green color.

- Feel free to use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or Gouda, to suit your taste preferences.

- If you prefer a richer mash, you can use whole milk or even add a bit of butter.

- Season the mash with additional spices like garlic powder or black pepper to enhance the flavor.
